Serve and accept JPEG XL as an image format (part of #222)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

A JPEG XL source, a bare codestream or one in its container, is
fetched, detected and decoded, and orig of one is JPEG XL. The format
jxl works in plain and encrypted URLs and on the generator page,
served as image/jxl, and auto chooses it first when Accept names
image/jxl.

govips sends libvips a JPEG XL distance with every save, and libvips
then ignores the quality, so q is turned into a distance with libvips'
formula, keeping 100 lossy. govips cannot have libvips strip metadata
from JPEG XL, so it is removed from the image before saving; libvips
8.16 and later still add an EXIF block of their own, with nothing from
the source. The conversion to sRGB moved ahead of the format switch.

The source image may be JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL. The upstream's
`Content-Type` must name its format, and the image's first bytes must match it.
With the format `auto`, pixa chooses the format for each request from its
`Accept` header, in this order:
1. AVIF, when the header names `image/avif`;
2. WebP, when it names `image/webp`;
3. JPEG, when the first of `image/jpeg`, `image/*` and `*/*` that it names
1. JPEG XL, when the header names `image/jxl`;
2. AVIF, when it names `image/avif`;
3. WebP, when it names `image/webp`;
4. JPEG, when the first of `image/jpeg`, `image/*` and `*/*` that it names
allows it, or when there is no `Accept` header or it is empty.
An entry with `q=0` refuses its format; other `q` values do not change the
order. AVIF and WebP must be named, as clients that cannot show them also send
`image/*` and `*/*`. pixa never sends a format the client refused: when the
header allows none of the three, the answer is 406, and a header that does not
parse, or has a `q` that is not a number from 0 to 1, is refused with 400. The
signature, or the token of an encrypted URL, covers `auto` itself, so one URL
serves every client. Each format chosen is cached as a separate image, and every
answer that depends on `Accept` (the image, a 304, and the 400 and 406 above)
carries `Vary: Accept`, so a shared cache keeps the formats apart too.

- The one exception is JPEG XL: a JPEG XL image carries an EXIF block that
libvips writes itself, with the image's orientation, resolution, size and
colour space and fixed defaults, but nothing from the source's EXIF, as govips
cannot ask libvips to leave it out.
